Drew Brees showed off accuracy by decapitating piñata with a football

Drew Brees is 39 years old, but he clearly hasn’t lost a step. The New Orleans Saints quarterback showed off his always impressive accuracy as he enters his 18th NFL season by destroying a piñata at training camp this week.

And, of course, the Saint got it all on video, including an angle from Brees’ perspective.

Brees was recently determined to be the fourth-most precise quarterback in the league, behind Tom Brady, Philip Rivers and Jimmy Garoppolo.

Pushing 40, Brees knows he can’t play football forever, but he’s still not complacent. He recently said at Saints training camp, via ESPN:

“There’s still a lot of things I want to accomplish,” Brees said. “And I understand the amount of work and effort it’s gonna take to accomplish those things. And I understand that I don’t have a whole lot of time left.

“So I’m gonna stay in the moment and I’m gonna enjoy every second of it, because I know when it’s over, it’s over. You know, there’s no coming back. And I want to be able to look back and say, ‘Man, I gave it everything I possibly could. I enjoyed every second of it. And now I can move on to the next chapter of my life and be at peace with that.’

“But there’s still a lot of things to accomplish. And I know in order to accomplish those things — and they’re lofty goals — you’ve gotta work. You’ve gotta work and have high expectations and sacrifice and do even more now than maybe I ever have.”

The Saints’ first preseason game is August 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, while their season-opener is at home September 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
